This chapter aims to connect the governance of ASB to the wider processes of governance in advanced liberal democracy that is centred on the concepts of responsibility and self-regulation. It shows that the role of social housing management in regulating behaviour has a long historical precedent, and that many of the discourses and techniques about how to handle ‘deviant behaviour’ go back to the birth of social housing during the 19th century. The chapter is able to determine the contemporary elements that have emerged where housing plays a central role.Less

In February 2002, the Academy of Learned Societies for the Social Sciences organised a seminar in London to examine the theme of ‘Ethics and Research Guidelines’ from a diversity of perspectives. The majority of the participants and speakers of the event were social scientists with an interest in ethics and research. What emerged from the seminar was a diversity of views and approaches among social scientists concerning ethical issues. This book examines the relationship between researchers and participants across a number of different disciplines and from both perspectives. While the exploration of these issues begins in the context of social science, the book crosses the disciplinary boundaries that separate discussion of research ethics between the social and the natural sciences. This cross-disciplinary discussion is the main goal of this book. In this book, contribution from medicine, health, medical ethics, journalism, social policy, women's studies, and mental health provide a diverse examination of the relationship between researchers and the researched. By describing the relationship between the researcher and the researched from different standpoints, this book illustrates research which challenges the traditional researcher-researched dichotomy, alongside standard research practice, hence, offering the opportunity to compare diverse perspectives. Part One of the book considers research and research ethics from the participants's perspectives. Part Two consists of two chapters that address different experiences of the ethical review/governance process. Both of the chapters describe the researcher's experiences of external ethical review through local ethics committee (LRECs). Part Three contains chapters by an investigating journalist, social scientist, epidemiologist, and a researcher activist.Less

The Beyond Trauma research project aimed to improve mental health services for female survivors of childhood sexual abuse. It explored their experiences of services, and their views on how these might be improved. It also consulted mental health professionals and voluntary sector agencies working with survivors for their perspectives on the issue. This chapter highlights the author's experience as a researcher within the Beyond Trauma project in order to examine the ethical issues that arise within the ethical governance process. By examining a specific example, this chapter reflects on the governance process from the social researchers, participants' and professionals's perspectives. This chapter also considers the implications of the Research Ethics Committee (REC) decisions on research, knowledge and services.Less

This chapter focuses on the transition of public universities in the U.S into “public-no-more” universities. It explains that permanent public funding reduction and state and federal actions requiring the replacement of taxpayer support with tuition revenue is transforming higher education into a private good. It describes the defining characteristics of a public-no-more university which include the adoption of a high-tuition-high-financial aid model, restructuring of the governance process, and encouraging entrepreneurial strategies. This chapter also considers the debate on the adoption of business-style budgeting and planning practices for public universities.Less

The concluding chapter brings together the threads of the preceding discussion. It argues that, instead of classifying conduct as public or private, the real question for both the free movement and competition rules is how their interpretation should adapt to cases of private regulation. This adaptation is tracked through both free movement and competition law, and the proposed approach to the overlap of the two sets of rules is outlined. Finally, the concluding chapter looks at the broader implications of EU law for private regulators and their measures. It argues that EU internal market law functions as a legal accountability mechanism for private regulators. It also describes how the prevalence of private regulation in certain sectors has enabled the use of free movement and competition law as tools for reform, serving as a launchpad for the development of EU policies.Less
